Buying unusual Christmas presents in Limerick

billy the squid

Ok was getting kind of bored buying the same type of presents for people i.e. CD's DVD's Books and the like.

So I was wondering is there anywhere in town or in the shopping centres that has unusual gift ideas.

I'm nalking about the kind of rubbish that gets a laugh and gets thrown into a drawer or the bin two weeks after christmas.

so any ideas and suggestions

Pretty damn cool and original present i thought, not overly expensive too around 50 quid.

A nice set of steak knives is always acceptable.
You can never have too many steak knives.

No seriously there is a place in fox's bow cant think of its name some "interesting" items for sale.
Could also try heirlooms in cruises street.

Have a look around for the "I want one of those" brochure. They've got really cool and strange gifts there. I don't know where you'll find the brochure though, I found it lying about the house.

Try "Hollywood Empire" on Thomas St for all things movie (fanboy) related. If that's your cup of tea of course.

May be the same people with this site. Some pretty good stuff there. Lots of crap too. Just like a visit to a fully stocked Gadget Store then.

Isnt mmmmmmMad closed? Ya id say Ann Summers too

Yep those greedy asses shut it down because 'the goods sold in that piticular store could be put to illegal patices in Limerick city", hell for any shop that is willing to pay the city councils rates should be allowed to sell what they want, illegal or 'could be used as an illegal tool'!
